Default A Program I use to Save Money

I found this program called Ebates and when you sign up and visit one of many online stores via their links, you get up to 25% cash back depending on the store.

Here's the link:
https://www.ebates.com/landing_fived...om&refpageid=1

The money you save is sent to you every 3 months by either PayPal or a check. The minimum amount you have to have is $5.01 and you instantly get $5 for signing up and another $5 if you sign up through the link above (the link is a referral link, I get $5 too). So all you have to is buy something and you will get the extra cent you need and make at least $5.

They also have coupons too.

Some of the places where you can earn cash back include
Staples
Dell
Circuit City
Best Buy
CompUSA
And more!

I have signed up. I haven't actually bought anything from the links yet because I'm saving up to build a rig, but it has an excellent rating and reviews at Epinions.

I will. If you're saying that because you don't think it works, don't the Epinions rating and reviews stand for themselves?

Everything is suspect until proven different. After all, we are talking the internet here. There are some pretty spectacular scams that go on.

In my oh so humble but always correct opinion, anytime/the only times I've seen the word ebates, its been in conjunction w/spyware. And to be brutally honest, generally pretty thoroughly infected w/spyware pc's.They might have changed the way that they have done business, but I generally see this in conjunction w/Virtual Bouncer, Elite toolbar, and FunWebProducts/MyWebSearch. My advice, FWIW, pick up beer cans on the side of the road. Probably same rate of return, you get more exercise, you clean the outside world (you do remember what that is, right?), and you have the same headaches/frustration.
